I am posting this from my FC4 machine. Ultimately I just went ahead and reformatted. My theory is the computer had somehow bound itself to the MAC address of the old modem's ethernet port, which I...

Still no progress. My best guess is that Linux somehow bound itself to the mac address (or equivalent) of the old modem, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to reset it. I cannot even run...

I've been on Comcast cable since before it was Comcast (AT&T), running a FCX box as a LAN server since before it was Fedora (circa RH7). Setup is simple, using DHCP for eth1, postrouting to eth0...

No, lol :). That's the whole point. Something in the shutdown sequence is killing that connection and I cannot get it back without hard-booting the modem during restart. Weirdest thing I ever saw....

Short answer: Good question :).

Long answer: I have the modem described below. What happens is anytime I reboot, right at the conclusion of the shutdown sequence the "Activity" (link) light on the...

Okay, with some help I managed to track down the boot error. Seems Redhat chokes on the /etc/init.d/iptables save command and it must be replaced with:

iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
...

This has been happening since FC1. Every time I reboot my home LAN box, something happens to my cable modem and I lose internet unless I unplug the modem from its power source, then time it juuuuust...

Getting there, man ;). In the middle of about fifty things right now. Thanks again.

Thanks guys. I'm tracking through it by inches. It's just kinda hard since my KVM switch is only for two computers and I have to keep switching between my W2K machine and this new box I'm trying to...

Last weekend I finally got this server I've been working on back together, running nicely, and loaded with FC1. It is a Tyan S2505T with an onboard Promise FastTrak 100 RAID controller. From what I...

Okay, it's working now :). So far I have been unable to get the drivers installed without actually connecting the printer to the Win machine. Works fine on mine, although my wife's is using the...

Okay, when you put it like that it makes sense. The reason I didn't want to install the HP drivers on my W2K machine(s) is because they come in a 30Mb exe file containing all kinds of extraneous crap...

Progress by inches. From your example I used:

http://192.168.1.1:631/printers/lp0
(I would appreciate knowing exactly what that ':631' part is doing)

...and now get this message:


...

Okay, so for sake of clarity say I Have an HP OfficeJet T45 connected to the FC1 box, and did this (from KDE):

Start (or "Hat" :)) > System Settings > Printing

I have one printer listed as...

Okay, I realize this topic is kinda dormant and all involved parties consider it solved. Meantime, I have been though dozens of Linux print sharing tutorials and discussions over the last year, am no...

Heh. You would think so, wouldn't you? RH isn't exactly one of the more popular Linux platforms unless you're a server geek though (getting there). Offhand, looks like I'm gonna get to spend a few...

I appreciate your pointing me in the right direction, Chris. You have assumed correctly. The hardware setup you describe is exactly what I have going on.

Am checking out the references you posted...

A couple of months back I scrounged up enough leftover parts to build a local network server and installed it with RH8. I'm on AT&T (now Comcast, I guess) cable and want to make the box distribute...

No dice :(. Set it up just like you said and even rebooted the whole system. Card identification and activation fails.

So let's go back to the tail end of my first post: How do I install the...

Thanks for the reply, NZ. For some reason during install, RH7.3 detected my cards as LinkSys Fast Ethernet adapter. They don't run. Will see if I can use your info to unbugger this and post back...

Ok. Needing a reason to swear for awhile I powered up my Linux box for the first time in a couple of weeks to have another run at it (I scrounged enough parts to build a network server and am...

lol. Although I've never been able to prove this, I pretty sure M$ has CompUSA in their pocket. Like I mentioned, the old card works fine. CompUSA says the manufacturer is FMI (whom I assume is...

Thanks again. Okay, what happened was the video card I bought at CompUSA for forty bucks (specifically, this one) wasn't recognizable by Redhat (notice all their drivers are for Windows). Once I...

Thanks for the reply. The problem isn't my hardware, however. What I have is a damaged copy of X that I don't know how to upgrade or replace from the command prompt. And until I manage to get in and...

Hey All.

After a bit of trauma (partially described in this thread on another board), I managed to get Redhat 7.3 installed. Now it's telling me it cannot start X.

After a(nother) full Redhat...
